What makes it 43% Baby-Friendly: Entry is free and a sturdy stroller fits through Porte du Repos, yet cobblestones, no nursing room, no changing table, and little shade force parents to keep the visit short and plan diaper stops elsewhere.
Note: Père Lachaise Cemetery is 43% Baby-Friendly. You may want to consider other Baby-Friendly Things to Do in Paris for a more suitable experience.
Why 1-1.5 hours visit duration is ideal for with baby: Allows time to see key graves and comfort breaks for the baby.
Stroller-friendly highlight loop:
Enter via the step-free Porte du Repos and follow the paved path to Oscar Wilde and Jim Morrison’s memorials.
Tip: Plan a 30-minute route; benches along the way offer quick feed and rest stops.
Iconic grave photo stops:
Visit the tomb of Oscar Wilde and Jim Morrison’s grave side by side.
Tip: Arrive early to avoid crowds and use a bench nearby to feed or change the baby.
Rest and change at main entrance:
Use the public toilets near Boulevard de Ménilmontant and Porte Gambetta for diaper changes.
Tip: Bring a portable changing mat; benches next to toilets make setup easier.

The first time you visit Père-Lachaise Cemetery you sometimes don't realise that it's the largest cemetery in Paris. From first glance at the entrance gate it doesn't tell you much until you enter and explore.

An excellent place to visit in France and pay your respects to some of the most famous people in history. A little haven of peace in the very centre of Paris. Take a good pair of shoes and be prepared to walk for a long way.

A very old, interesting, and wonderful cemetery. Walking through the cemetery gives you a tour of both history and art. I highly recommend it. It would be easy to spend an afternoon here.

Of my 5 visits to Paris, I’ve been here 3 times. This most current visit was the quickest as it started to rain as soon as we entered. Our biggest mistake was not taking a photo of the map as soon as we entered. We ended up bumping into a couple of Americans with a map so we ended up getting a snap of theirs.

A good site to visit in Paris. There are many interred here who have influenced and inspired you — even if you don’t know it yet. During peak tourist season there are a number of friendly attendants to provide maps and directions. Toilets are in the south. Some accessibility concerns: many ways are cobbled and some steep, although there is a slope going around the whole cemetery.
In summer, visit early morning to avoid heat. In autumn, watch for slippery fallen leaves on paths. In winter, dress baby warmly and stick to a shorter route.
